Harriet Dart joins Isabelle Wallace and Katie Boulter for the second leg of major North American tournaments, and opens against a 14 year old local girl
Mixed results today - Izzy at least recorded a win in doubles with Christina Makarova. Harriet's next opponent is on a 26 match winning streak, including a $10K, G1, 2 G2 and a G4 title, whilst Katie's has recently reached back-to-back $10K finals
R1 (L64)
(12) Katie Boulter (GBR) bye
Harriet Dart (GBR) d. (WC) Rosie Johanson (CAN) 3-6 6-4 6-4
Rianna Valdes (USA) d. Isabelle Wallace (GBR) 6-4 6-1
R2
Asiya Dair (KAZ) v (12) Katie Boulter (GBR)
Harriet Dart (GBR) v (16) Ivana Jorovic (SRB)
A good win today for Katie, but as expected Harriet found it tough. Katie is likely to play the Roehampton finalist next (who was also on the opposite side in the G1 doubles final last week)
R2
(12) Katie Boulter (GBR) d. Asiya Dair (KAZ) 6-4 6-7(4) 6-4
(16) Ivana Jorovic (SRB) d. Harriet Dart (GBR) 6-3 6-2
R3
(12) Katie Boulter (GBR) v (WC) Marie-Alexandre Leduc (CAN) or (8) Iryna Shymanovich (BLR)
Good effort from Katie but only doubles left, where she and Izzy are on opposite sides later today. If Izzy prevails she may end up with an SE into the US Open.
Katie & partner won that battle to make the semis, and have just won a match tiebreak to reach the final for the second successive week. However they need a major upset to take the title against a Czech pair whose last 3 events were winning the French, Wimbledon and European Championships
Doubles Final
(1) Krejcikova/Siniakova (CZE) v (2) Boulter/Stojanovic (GBR/SRB)
The Czechs are a phenomenal pair. Two games remains the most they have conceded in a set this week, whilst at least Katie avoided her Wimbledon double bagel against them (with Izzy)
Doubles Final
(1) Krejcikova/Siniakova (CZE) d. (2) Boulter/Stojanovic (GBR/SRB) 6-2 6-1
